This year it will call upon young people in particular to protect and cherish life from conception to natural death.  Literature is available at the back of church.

A retiring collection will be taken after all Masses proceeds of which will go to The Anscombe Bioethics Centre and other life-related activities supported by the church.

There has been such a positive response to these events that we have decided to repeat them next year.

The Novena will begin on Thursday, 25^th June 2015 for nine evenings

The Patronal Feast Day will be Saturday 4^th July 2015.

It is with sadness that we announce that Fr Hawkins died on Tuesday, 15th July.

A much-loved priest and a true gentleman, he had served the diocese for over 45 years as a priest, most recently at St Pius X church.  He retired several years ago due to illness, but remained in Barrow and was regularly visited by members of the parish.

Please keep Fr John in your prayers, asking that the Lord will reward him for all his good work.
Pray also for his sisters, Monica and Rosaleen, and for all his family and friends.

Fr Hawkin’s funeral will take place during the week beginning 28^th July and we will announce full details when they are available.
